Tonnage Calculator

NOTE OF CAUTION:
Calculations are approximate. Tonnage
requirements and ability to safely punch required hole depends on quality of
equipment and tooling. Piranha is not responsible for inaccuracies or
results. Due to extreme pressures generated when punching, care must be
taken to not exceed the strength of the tooling.

For example, when punching
through 60,000 psi material, NEVER attempt to punch a hole smaller in
diameter than material thickness. Additional safety margins must be
considered if tensile strength of material is higher than 60,000 psi.

DIRECTIONS:
Calculator will accept fractional numbers in decimal format only
For material less than 1 inch enter in the following format: 0.5
